The RMIT Centre for Innovative Justice opened up the Old Magistrate’s Court for the first time during Law Week. An eager crowd were taken through parts of the old building before hearing a discussion on Justice: past, present and future.

Courts Open Day was once again a success – particularly with the County Court and Children’s Court joining with the Supreme Court and Magistrates’ Court this year. There was a fascinating program of events held throughout the day and the sausage sizzle was popular raising $375.20 for Berry Street.

And a huge thank you also goes out to all of our event organisers, who’ve worked extremely hard to deliver a fantastic Law Week program. Through their hard work, thousands of Victorians now have a fresh insight and a better understanding of the law and the legal system, which is exactly the point of Law Week.
